			<h2>Introduction</h2>
			<p>
				In web applications developed now days a lot of the logic that previously
				resided on the server side is now being implemented on the client side.
				This is especially true for information presentation, components such as
				trees and columnlist makes it possible for users to interact with the
				application, or web site if you wish, without contacting the server.
				However the ability to present data in a graphic rather than textual
				format has been quite limited, unless a plugin is used or an image is
				requested from the server.
			</p>
			<p>
				That's where this component comes in to place, it allows various forms
				of charts to be created, without any additional plugin, and without
				using images.
			</p>
			<h3>Chart Types</h3>
			<p>
				A few different chart types are supported and they can be combined in
				a variety of configurations even in the same chart. The following types
				are supported:
			</p>
			<ul>
				<li>Area</li>
				<li>Line</li>
				<li>Stacked Area</li>
				<li>Stacked Line</li>
				<li>Vertical Bars</li>
			</ul>
